Street Life

I’m always looking for new websites to visit other than the standard Facebook and twitter, and I was pointed to a new site called 1x.com. It’s basically a HUGE online art gallery filled with every genre of photography you can imagine – from action to digital art to abstract. I think it’s quickly becoming one of my favorites!

There are plenty of photos to browse through, but the street photographs have some of the best captured moments of real life. Below are some of my favorites:

I like this photo so much because it’s shows the photographer’s witty side. This photo was part technical skill and part luck – the woman just happened to look like she was covering her ears when she was walking past a “screaming” billboard.

The motion in this photo is obviously the best part of this photo. It’s always a sign of a good photographer when you can get the viewer to feel as if they are involved in the action of the subject, and I get that exact feeling.

Although there is no off-the-wall action going on in this photo, this is an excellent portrait of street life. It clearly tells a story of these two males lives and paints a colorful picture of the people of urban life.
